Degrease Before Anything Else
Every wall, cabinet, and ceiling is cleaned of cooking residue before prep. Paint won’t bond to grease, so we never skip it.
Standard wall paint isn’t made for a kitchen. Splashes from the stove, steam off the sink, fingerprints around switches, and the weekly wipe-down all attack the surface from day one. Within a year a cheap job starts to streak, peel near the backsplash, and yellow above the range.
We treat kitchens differently. The right primer, a scrubbable enamel-grade finish on cabinets, and a moisture-resistant formulation on walls and ceilings make the difference between a kitchen that looks great for a few months and one that still wipes clean after five years.
Every project starts with degreasing and proper surface prep, because no coating bonds to a film of cooking residue. That step is skipped on most rushed jobs, and it’s exactly why their paint lets go first.
A kitchen repaint is more than four walls. We coat every surface that takes daily wear, matching the right product to each one.
Sprayed, factory-smooth enamel on doors, drawer fronts, and boxes. This is the single biggest visual change you can make in a kitchen without a remodel.
Scrubbable, washable finishes that handle grease and moisture around the stove and sink, and stay clean with a damp cloth.
Kitchen ceilings collect grease and steam most people never notice until they’re repainted. We use the right ceiling-grade product for the job.
Crisp white trim and pantry doors finished in a durable enamel that resists scuffs from carts, chairs, and busy feet.
A contrasting island color or a refreshed built-in pantry can anchor the whole room. We finish them to match or stand apart, your call.
Paintable backsplash sections and accent walls get a finish that stands up to splatter while pulling the color scheme together.
Every wall, cabinet, and ceiling is cleaned of cooking residue before prep. Paint won’t bond to grease, so we never skip it.
We use scrubbable wall paint and enamel-grade cabinet coatings designed for humidity, grease, and constant cleaning.
Low-VOC and zero-VOC products are available, which matters in a room where you cook, eat, and gather every day.
We sequence the work so you keep using your kitchen wherever possible, and we contain dust and fumes to the work zone.
Careful prep, clean spraying, and a finish that still wipes clean years later. Here’s how a kitchen project runs from start to finish.
We measure the kitchen, inspect cabinet condition and wall surfaces, and talk through your color ideas. You get a written quote that breaks down labor and materials.
We clean every surface of cooking residue, then mask countertops, appliances, and floors. Cabinet hardware and doors come off and get labeled for an exact reinstall.
We fill dings, sand glossy cabinet surfaces for adhesion, caulk gaps, and apply a bonding primer so the topcoat grips and stays put.
Cabinets and trim are sprayed for a smooth, brush-mark-free finish. Walls and ceilings get two full coats of scrubbable paint with hand-cut lines.
Doors and drawer fronts go back on, hardware is reattached, and bumpers are added so the new finish doesn’t chip the first week.
We walk the kitchen with you under bright light, touch up anything you spot, pull all masking, and leave the room ready to cook in.

Two homeowners can pick the same color and end up with very different kitchens depending on sheen. In a room this busy, the finish matters as much as the color.
Cabinets need a harder, slicker enamel so fingerprints and grease wipe off without dulling the surface. Satin hides minor imperfections; semi-gloss reads cleaner and is easier to scrub.
Flat paint stains in a kitchen. We use eggshell or satin on walls so splatter near the stove and sink comes off with a damp cloth instead of a touch-up.
A washable matte ceiling product handles steam and the faint grease film kitchens collect, without the glare a glossier sheen would throw under overhead lights.
Lighter walls and cabinets keep a kitchen feeling open, while a deeper island or lower-cabinet color adds depth. We bring samples and check them under your actual lighting first.

Learn MoreWalls and ceilings alone usually take one to two days. A full kitchen that includes cabinet refinishing typically runs three to five working days, since cabinet enamel needs proper dry and cure time between coats. We give you an exact timeline in your estimate.
In most cases, yes. If the cabinet boxes and doors are structurally sound, refinishing them gives you a like-new look for a fraction of replacement cost. We sand, prime with a bonding primer, and spray a durable enamel for a smooth, factory-style finish.
Kitchens need washable, moisture-resistant products. We use scrubbable eggshell or satin on walls, a harder enamel on cabinets and trim, and a washable matte on ceilings. These finishes handle grease, steam, and frequent cleaning far better than standard flat paint.
For cabinet refinishing, yes, the cabinets need to be emptied so doors and drawers can come off. For wall and ceiling work, we move and protect what we can and ask you to clear countertops. We’ll walk you through exactly what to prep before we arrive.
We offer low-VOC and zero-VOC products that cut odor significantly, which matters in a room where you prepare food. We also ventilate the space and contain the work area so fumes don’t spread through the house.
